I was slightly disappointed with the Batman: Arkham Knight end credits (although they were actually quite good).
The ending was okay, although I think it maybe works better if you've seen other Batman stories. The events leading up to the ending were great though, there were some really nice "Batman" moments throughout the game but more so in the later stages, I think. I guess the fact I'd constantly wander off to do sidequests could have affected the pacing and story a bit but I think it was generally okay (they did put in more plausible reasons to hold off on the main quest from time to time).
It'll be interesting to see if there's post-game dlc and what it would be like. The season pass is kind of expensive so I hope that means there'll be some meaty content to come.
It might be cool to see a 60's Batman based Arkham game, I'm not sure it'd work as a full game but it could be fun dlc. Maybe that'd just annoy a lot of people though, mostly I just want to see what the combat would be like with all the effects and that classic music.
I guess I was okay with the Batmobile by the end of the game. I think part of the problem is that it's involved in a few boss fights that aren't much fun (one is very near the start) but there are a couple of decent ones later on. One main story battle that didn't quite work properly for me but would probably have been okay otherwise and one sidequest that was quite neat (though that might have partly been the way I played it too). I almost enjoyed one of the races in the Batmobile towards the end too, although it had a weird issue right at the end of the course that constantly threw me off (literally) and seemed to be down to bad luck. I think the Batmobile is generally fine when you're not following a course or otherwise restricted by some gimmick, some of the puzzles, sidequests and battles work quite well.
At the end of the day, I'm not sure if Arkham Knight quite matches up to Arkham City. I don't think it has anything to match the Fries segment gameplay wise, although story wise it may be a bit closer. That said, I think the Arkham City ending is a bit better (though would be tough to beat, to be fair). Still, it's a great game and I think it has earned it's place next to the other Arkham games. I guess it might even be more accurate to say that it's just a bit different to Arkham City (though not too different), since some people may prefer Arkham Knight (especially if they really enjoy all of the Batmobile stuff).
I think the most interesting thing will be to see what happens next. I'd imagine they won't want to lose a successful franchise but I think the games will really have to change going forward if they want to compete and I have no idea what they'd have to change into.

Replaying Borderlands 2 with the Brother and the Boy. God bless you up to 4 player mode on The Handsome Collection! Once I get passed the Ice levels, I still really enjoy the game. Can't see me getting bored of it.
What character do you play? My problem with Borderlands and similar games is I tend to end up wanting to play another character but don't want to have to go through the levelling process again (at least getting a headstart wouldn't hurt).
